Device elements

Please unfold the front picture side

For Your Safety

Before first start-up, it is definitely necessary to read the operating instructions and safety indications Nr. 5.951-949!
Symbols in the operating instructions

Danger
The immediate danger can cause severe injury or even death.
Warning
A possible hazardous situation that could lead to severe injury or even death.
Caution
A possible hazardous situation that could lead to mild injury to persons or damage to property.

Symbols on the machine
High-pressure jets can be dangerous if improperly used. The jet may not be directed at persons, animals, live electrical equipment, or at the appliance itself.
According to the applicable regulations, the appliance must never be used on the drinking water supply without a system separator. Use a suitable system separator manufactured by KÄRCHER; or, as an alternative, a system separator as per EN 12729 Type BA. Water flowing through a system separator is considered non-drinkable.
Caution
Always connect the system separator to the water supply, never directly to the appliance!

Safety instructions

• Please follow the national rules and regulations for fuel spray jets of the respective country.
• Please follow the national rules and regulations for accident prevention in the respective country. Fuel spray jets must be tested regularly and the results of these tests must be documented in writing.

Proper use

Use this high-pressure cleaner exclusively for

• Cleaning using low-pressure jet and detergent (e.g. for cleaning machines, cars, buildings, tools),
• For cleaning use a high-pressure jet without detergent (e.g. for cleaning facades, terraces, garden appliances).

For stubborn dirt, we recommend the use of the dirt blaster as a special accessory. HD…Plus includes a dirt remover as part of standard delivery.

Safety Devices

Safety devices serve for the protection of the user and must not be put out of operation or bypassed with respect to their function.
Overflow valve with pressure switch
While reducing the water supply/quantity regulation at the pump head, the overflow valve opens and part of the water flows back to the pump suck side.
If the lever on the trigger gun is released the pressure switch turns off the pump, and the high-pressure jet is stopped. If the lever is pulled the pump is turned on again.
When the maximum operating overpressure is exceeded, the overflow valve opens and the water flows back to the pump inlet. The overflow valve and pressure switch are set and sealed at the factory. Setting only by customer service.

Environmental protection

| The packaging material can be recycled. Please do not place the packaging in the ordinary refuse for disposal, but arrange for the proper recycling.
---|---
| Old appliances contain valuable materials that can be recycled. Please arrange for the proper recycling of old appliances. Batteries, oil, and similar substances must not enter the environment. Please dispose of your old appliances using appropriate collection systems.

Startup

Electrical connection
Danger
The danger of injury by electric shock.
The appliance may only be connected to an alternating current.
The appliance may only be connected to an electrical supply that has been installed in accordance with IEC 60364.
The voltage indicated on the type plate must correspond to the voltage of the electrical source.
The minimum fuse rating required at the socket outlet is (see technical specifications).
The highest allowed net impedance at the electrical connection point (refer to technical data) is not to be exceeded. In case of confusion regarding the power impedance present on your connection, please contact your utility provider.
The appliance should always be connected to the electrical mains using a plug. It is forbidden to permanently connect the appliance to the power supply. The plug is only for mains separation.
Check the power cord with the main plug for damage before every use. If the power cord is damaged, please arrange immediately for the exchange by an authorized custom- er service or a skilled electrician.
The plug and coupling of the extension cable used must be watertight.
Use the extension cord that has an adequate cross-section (see “Technical Data”) and unwind it fully from the cable drum.
Unsuitable extension cables can be hazardous. Only use extension cables out- doors which have been approved for this purpose and labeled with a sufficient cable cross-section:
For connection values, see type plate/technical data.

Water connection
Connection to the water supply
Warning

Observe the regulations of water suppliers. According to the applicable regulations, the appliance must never be used on the drinking water supply without a system separator. Use a suitable system separator manufactured by KÄRCHER; or, as an alternative, a system separator as per EN 12729 Type BA. Water flowing through a system separator is considered non-drinkable.

Caution
Always connect the system separator to the water supply, never directly to the appliance! For connection, values refer to technical specifications

• Connect the supply hose (minimum length 7.5 m, minimum diameter 1“) to the water connection point of the appliance (such as the tap).

Note
The supply hose is not included.

• Open the water supply.

Drawing in water from open reservoirs

• Screw the suction hose (order no.4.440-270.0) onto the water connection.
• Connect filter (order-no. 4.730-012.0) to suction hose.
• Deaerate the appliance:

Unscrew the nozzle.
Switch on the appliance and let it run until the water exiting is bubble-free.
At the end let the appliance run for approx. 10 seconds – then switch off. Repeat the procedure for a couple of times.

• Switch off the appliance and fit the nozzle again.

Operation

Danger
Risk of explosion!
Do not spray flammable liquids.
If the appliance is used in hazardous areas (e.g. filling stations) the corresponding safety provisions must be observed.
Warning
Clean engines only at places with corresponding oil separators (environmental safety).
The jet must not be directed at other persons or directed by the user at him/herself to clean clothing or footwear.
Risk of blocking. Place the nozzles in the accessory compartment with their joint pointing upward.
Danger
Long hours of using the appliance can cause circulation problems in the hands- on account of vibrations.
It is not possible to specify a generally valid operation time since this depends on several factors:

• Proneness to blood circulation deficiencies (cold, numb fingers).
• Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to protect your hands.
• A firm grip impedes blood circulation.
• Continuous operation is worse than an operation interrupted by pauses.

In case of regular, long-term operation of the device and in case of repeated occurrence of the symptoms (e.g. cold, numb fingers) please consult a physician.

High-pressure operation
Note
The appliance is equipped with a pressure switch. The motor starts up only when the lever of the pistol is pulled.

• Roll off the high-pressure hose totally from the hose drum.
• Set the appliance switch to “I”.
• Unlock the hand-spray gun and pull the lever of the gun.
• Set working pressure and flow rate through turning (rungless) at the pressure- and amount regulation (B) (+/-).

Select spray type

• Close the hand spray gun.
• Turn the casing of the nozzle till the desired symbol matches the marking.
  

| High-pressure circular spray (0°) for specially stubborn dirt
---|---
| Flat low-pressure spray (CHEM) for operating using detergents or cleaning at low pressure.
| High-pressure flat spray (25°) for large dirt areas
